The OutlanderSeason Six’s final episode airs on Sunday May 1, and it’s one those intense episodes that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. It’s also one the best finales. OutlanderIt is the best season-five finale and markedly different from what Claire’s return to The Ridge after her sexual assault. Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser), reveals the truth this time Glamour, “It ends on a really good cliff-hanger.”
The season-six finale episode, titled “I Am Not Alone” and directed by Jamie Payne, picks up immediately after Richard Brown arrives at the Ridge to arrest Claire for the murder of Malva Christie, and Heughan calls the hour-long episode “one of our strongest finales” and says there’s “everything” in this episode for viewers. “There’s a lot of action, but there’s some really sensitive, really intimate moments with the characters, and not just Jamie and Claire. Roger and Brianna have some beautiful stuff too.”
Adds Caitriona Balfe (Claire Fraser), “We didn’t necessarily plan on ending at this episode when we started this season, but it felt like a really, really good point to take that break.” She’s referring to her real-life pregnancy at the time as well as the challenges of filming during the pandemic, not to mention scheduling conflicts for the cast and crew. It’s hard to believe that episode eight feels like the finale that was planned from the beginning.
Heughan agrees. “Personally, and I think probably for Caitriona as well, this was the hardest season to shoot because of all the factors that are going on,” he explains. “It’s fascinating that I think [it feels]Despite being half the height of other ones, it is still very deliberate. It’s packed full of stuff.”
